With today being his first day out of office, it got me thinking.....He has publicly stated his desire to run for President, but I think the likelihood of him getting through a Democratic primary is pretty low. On the other hand, I think he could wipe the floor with Cory Gardner.

Well, if he is going to throw his hat in for 2020, he needs to start building up his profile. Outside of Colorado, few people know much about him.

I'd say, out of your options above, go for the easy target: Gardner. Build his profile in the senate as a moderate pro-business Democrat. And depending on the circumstances, run in 2024, or preferably 2028 (because that would mean Trump was voted out in 2020).

I think oval office. But he'd make a good Senator too. Either role would be a plus for the people.

I think he's too old to be planning a run in 2024 (he'd be 72) and esp. 2028 (76).

I think he's got a far better shot at taking down Cory Gardner than he does at winning the Democratic presidential nomination. The reality is that at this moment in time, being a (somewhat) older, white, male isn't going to excite the Democratic base.

But I would definitely be happy to see him run for Senate, and frankly, I think if he announced for that sooner rather than later, that would pretty much clear the path of many of the better known likely candidates.
